Introduction

Every web page that you have seen to date is made using HTML, CSS and JavaScript technologies. Even the current page that you are reading is an HTML, CSS and JavaScript page. So, Let's check what and how can we use these technologies.

Server

Do you ever think, How are we able to access these websites? It's because it's been deployed on servers.

What is Server?

A Server is software or hardware that is used to store the data, and files which are created locally on our system.

What are Web Servers?

A web server is a program that is used to store all the files such as Html, CSS and JS(Javascript) files. And it is stored on a web server, it can be accessed from anywhere using a domain name. For Example, Apache 2, cPanel, etc.

HTML

HTML is often known as Hyper Text Markup Language which is used for creating websites and web applications. Html files end with the extension of either .html or .htm. The most recent version of Html is HTML5.

Few important things to know before learning HTML

Tag

An Html tag is used to differentiate between 2 tags. It is always written using angular brackets like <>.....</>.

<p>This is a paragraph</p>

Attribute

An attribute is adding additional information to a particular tag.

<p style="background-color:tomato;">This is a paragraph.</p>

Here the background-color is an attribute.

Inline Elements

An Inline element does not take a new line in the whole page. It only takes up its own width for the element. Here <span> element is just an example.

<span>Hello World!</span>

Block Elements

A Block element takes its own space in the whole page, it covers the whole row for that element. Here <p> is just an example.

<p>Hello World!</p>
